One of the biggest blessings I get from writing and podcasting comes when God uses something I’ve written or podcasted about to encourage or speak to me months or years later. I have had the privilege of writing monthly devotionals for a denominational magazine several times over the last few years. When I write these devotionals, I have to submit them about six months before they are published. So, when I read them in the month they were written for, I always find that God speaks to me through my own writing.
Just this week, God used one of my past podcast episodes to encourage and speak to me. I knew my time was limited for putting together this episode, so I went back into the archives to find one to re-air that I thought would be encouraging to you this week.
I decided to listen to episode 38, about 5 steps for bearing fruit. The reason I chose this podcast is because I shared in an episode earlier this year that my word of the year is thrive. And I determined that the way we thrive is to bear fruit. So I thought the episode on how to bear fruit would be a good one to share this summer.
When I listened to it, I was surprised to hear myself talking about Psalm 1. This is the Psalm I talked about in the episode about thriving earlier this year. As I listened to what I shared about bearing fruit, God reminded me of things I need to continue to do in my life now to bear fruit. I’m not trying to brag because I feel that it was the Lord who gave me this message, but what I share in this episode is gold. I don’t even remember writing the episode, so I know it was God who wanted me to share this message.
This episode was first published in April 2019, so some things I talk about are no longer applicable to what I am doing now. You will hear a lot about The Planning Woman, my former brand, but there are certain aspects of what God was showing me about The Planning Woman that are still applicable to what I’m doing through Jennifer Booth Ministries.
I also mention offering coaching packages. I am not doing that at this time. So disregard that information. And I talk about a community group I had at the time. That is now the Live It Out Community group which is not on social media. I’ll link it in the show notes so you can check it out.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in while we learn how to bear fruit.
I hope this episode blesses you!
